Fuck Google!

the serps are so cluttered now

There was a bug – check again over the next few days/weeks.
I noticed the bug because: Although my website wasn’t affected, I noticed some of our competitors moved down. Now I don’t think they should have moved down, their content is good. What I noticed is that the websites that overtook them are terrible and shouldn’t even be on the first few pages of search.

Sorry to hear about G fucking you over. You’re not alone, friend. Nurture your email list. It’s a much better business model.

Google is using AI to pull all of our data into its own database and then answering the search terms for people looking for information. Then they put an ad in front of them or sell them a product. All in the name of “providing a better user experience”.
Google is straight up stealing people’s content! They need to be broken up. Year after year every single core algorithm update has been nothing but negative. You may get 1- 5% increase on one page and then you lose 50+% on all the others.
Google’s main objective is to become the only needed source so they can funnel all revenue into only themselves. They want to completely cut out web developers and content creators.
Remember the last time you put something in the search bar and somebody’s website came up as a snippet and answered exactly what you were looking for? This left you with no need to visit that persons site at all. Well that’s how it works, that’s how we lose all our traffic.
With one push of a button Google has the power to shut down 90% of traffic to anyone’s website. That’s way too much power!
Pretty much any site that is dealing with affiliates or any type of ad revenue other than Google, they’re going to strike you out. They’re trying to weed all the revenue that’s not coming to them out. Eventually, sites that don’t feed Google revenue they’re just going to knock right out of the search results completely. Google is an evil communist company.
In 2018 back in March /April Google had another major algorithm core update that destroyed my Google search traffic. I spent from 2018 till now building it back up. Then August 2023 core update took out my Google search traffic – 90%!
When Google gets sued there needs not to be a $100 million dollar or $700 million, it needs to be $100+ billion dollar lawsuit, they need to be hit so hard that they have to crawl to get back up! If not they’re going to keep doing this over and over. Every time Google gets sued it’s never more than a billion dollars. That’s just tax to them. Alphabet is a $2 trillion dollar company off the backs of us!
Google’s version of SEO is (Stealing Everyone’s Opportunity).

I think they also support big companies for political reasons, so they can control information.

Can’t agree more.

Welcome to the Graveyard of HCU sites friend we all hate Google too

Totally agree—EEAT feels like it’s becoming a tool to prioritize big sites over smaller, quality content creators. It’s frustrating to see all the hard work and genuine effort go unnoticed while these vague updates keep pushing us down. Google needs to be more transparent and fair to everyone, not just the big players.

how?

Is that same Literature site which got approved on Journey?
Mine is also fucked up! It survived all core updates and got fucked in this one…. GOOGLE is going crazy!

It’s frustrating to pour so much effort into building something, only to have Google’s updates hit you out of nowhere. It often feels like these updates are rigged for the big players while smaller sites take the hit, despite doing everything right. Diversifying traffic sources like you did is smart—at least you’ve got some fallback with Pinterest and your email list.
Stay strong though! SEO can feel like an endless roller coaster, but the game’s not over. Keep pushing, and don’t let Google dictate your whole livelihood.

I see in the top positions sites with articles written with artificial intelligence and little care. Google does not reward quality sites.
